Monuments and Places of Interest
Piove di Sacco boasts numerous architectural beauties, foremost among them being the Torre Carrarese, or the "great tower," the last remaining part of the fortifications built during the Carrarese period, on top of which the bell chamber of the nearby cathedral, dedicated to Saint Martin, has been added. The cathedral itself is also very important, with its foundation dating back to the 10th century. It was later rebuilt between 1090 and 1100, and again in 1403, and was redesigned in neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic styles by engineer Francesco Gasparini between 1893 and 1903. Several important works adorn the interior of the cathedral, including the altarpiece Madonna del Carmelo by Giambattista Tiepolo, and the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, a work by Jacopo Sansovino dating back to around 1554. In the sacristy, there is another painting by Giambattista Tiepolo, Saint Francis of Paola. In the nearby Piazza Matteotti stands the town hall, built on a design by Giuseppe Jappelli in 1818, replacing the previous medieval municipal building. Another artistically significant building is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace, located about a kilometer from the town center along the Fiumicello River.
